Not in Confidence.

'Tf you are going around alone you
had better look out for confidence men, "
said the special officer at the Detroit,
Grand Haven and Milwaukee Depot to a
green-looking young man who was wait
ing to 60 to Pontiac. =,
"Oh, know all about that racket, "
replied the stranger, as he slantcd his hat
q little higher over his ear.
"All right-don't blame me-"
The young man went up Brush street
and was gone three-quarters of an hour,
and when he returned he said to the cfti-
Ger:
''I'll have to wait over until tomorrow
to get check cashed."
"Have you got a check?"

ACask That Holds $4,000 Gallons.

Work was begun in 1883 on the great
wine tun of Toledo, Ohio, writes a New
York Times correspondent, but the solid
American oak of which it is built was
drying in kiln for six years prior to
that. Its oaken slaves are twenty-one
feet long and six inches square. In the
rough, six of them formed load for a
two-horse team. With the utmost nicely
they were put in place until, as a whole,
they measured over sixty feet in circum-
ference. Through the centre of the tunl,
where it curves outward in huge swell,
it measures twenty-one feet; the diane
ter at the ends is eighteen feet. 1t con-
tains Sc, 600 gallons of dry wine. To
withstand the enormous pressure OF this
bulk, three iron rods are carried from end
to end, where they are rireted in oaken
beams of great size and strength. The
hoops are of iron. There are fourteen OF
them, and they weigh three tons. Each
hoop is six inches broad and about
third of an inch in thickness. They are well
groomed hoops and shine as if In con-
slant contact with an emery wheel. But
everything about the great tun betokens
the HISAC care tAdC - VI II. 40
oaken surface is polished to such de-
gree that the sun loves to creep in
through the prison-like windows and
dance upon it's shining bulk. The huge
brass spigot gGtters like gold from the
coiner's hands. The oaken platform that
faces its tremendous head, and the oaken
stairway that winds around the base and
enables the visitor to look down upon
the mammoth, glisten under frequent
coats of varnish. A blow upon this iron
ribbed body makes no impression unless
the ear be placed close to the wood; then
the sound is like the last gasp of thunder
clap. Days and days were occupied in
filling it with catawba made from grapes
that grow on islands in Put in Bay,
where Commodore Perry taught John
Bull lesson some years ago: And when
the tun was full, when $4,000 gallons of
wine had been poured into the vast in
terror, there was much rejoicing in the
immediate vicinity, and all who wit
messed the completion of the process felt
in duty bound to drink to the health of
the Toledo tun, and to do SO in such un-
stintcd measure that the occasion is
likely never TO be forgotten by those who
participated.

Chinese Juveniles at Play.

In and about the plaza, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, there is nearly every
day a bobbing of little pigtails and a
gathering of little shoes along the alley
ways and graveled walks, and they are not
the least pleasing of the sights and
sounds in that neighborhood. One catches
a glimpse there of Chinese juvenile life.
The Chronicle says:
There is Chinese game. however, that
never fails to arouse the interest and
envy of the white boys. 1t is played
with loaded cork bestuck with feathers.
The game is to keep the cork in the air.
The first player throws up the shuttle
cock and before it again reaches the earth
he twists his foot and gives the descend
ing object a kick with his heel, which
sends it up into the air, sometimes as
high as twenty feet. When it descends
again he tries to keep it within the range
of.his heel as long as possible, but the
play soon fails to be exclusive; other
boys standing anxiously about manage to
get a kick at it, sending it away from the
first player, who then joins the outsiders
in general scramble to gain possession.
Sometimes in the heat of the play, when
the crowd is punched together, the schut-
tlecock is struck by the hand, but that is
not allowable unless it is in danger of
striking the ground before the heel can
strike it. Expert players keep their hands
in their sleeves, hitting the fcathery OBJ
iect only with the heel, and thus keeping
it from the ground for hours at time.
Great skill is necessary for this game, and
where American boys have undertaken to
play it with the heather they have always
cut sorry figure.

Forgot to " Beller.r

An undemonstrative husband caused
his wife some chagrin on board train
recently. A Chicago journal says that
in a railroad accident near that city a
woman was shaken very severely and
could not speak for some time, although
conscious of what was taking place
around her. Some of the passengers
thought she was dead. Her husband
feared so too, but instead of giving way
to unavailable grief he few around doing
all he could for his wife's recovery. When
she was pronounced out of danger she
said, reproachfully:
"Johnm
swell, Samanthy?"
"You didn't beller bit there when
they all thought was dead"
"Well, Samanthy," said John, in some
confusion, Eye see I was flying around
trying to bring ye to. 1 didn't have no
time to beller."
eyes, john" said the old lady, ,feebly,
with a suggestion of tears in her voice,
..but couldn't ye beller little bit now,
John, Jest fer the looks of things"
why, Samanthy, if l was to beller
now, folks would say was doin' it cause
you was going to git we'll"
'Inever thought O that" said the old
lady sadly. IL wish to goodness, John,
you'd bellered some at the right time

Selecting q Canary.

The main thing in selecting young
canary, is to take one with long, straight,
tapering body, and in nine cases out Of
ten you will have good bird. But never
buy canary before hearing it sing; Go
to a bird store, and watch carefully the
birds as they sing. The bird man will
soon be able to start them, and then if
you carefully take notice you soon can
detect which little fellow is the sweetest
and at the same time strongest in voice.
Don't be in a hurry to select one with
the loudest song. A moderate, sweet
aud prolonged song is always the most
attractive. Godey's Lady's Book.

He Went Back.

He was a little fellow, not over twelve
wears old, and he was sitting behind q
box over at the Omaha Depot the other
morning softly crying and looking very
dirt and forlon.
whats the matter?' we asked.
''Hain't nothin' the matter" he said
dcfantly, sitting up straight, hastily
brushing away his tears and pushing
back his jacket so as to display the
handle Of an old revolver in his pocket.
Then he looked off across the river at the
strange buildings and lost his bravery,
and buried his head again and scbbcd
through his tears:
ooh, mister pve been runnin' away
an want o go home"
"What made you run aways'
"I thought it would be nice, but 1t
hain't, no, it hain't," and he rested his
face in has hands and looked the picture

tears flowed.
"Where did YOU live!"
"Oh, lived Gown ut Marion, in 1lli-
nois, and it just about killed me riding
in that old freight car, an hurtmy knee
an I'm cold and hain't had no breakfast
nor supper, neither. wish I'd never
heard of Dick-I don't see how he got

again and see my--my-my-" but the
thought of his mother was too much
for him.
II don't want to hunt Indians or bears
or nothin', nor rescne no maidens, an
I'm tired of that old thing" and he
pulled a rusty revolver out of his pocket
that hadn't been fred for ten years and
threw it across the track. " Please,
mister, git me something to eat, an Ill
work all day for you," and he looked up
pitifully and Strengthened his little cap
on his curly head.
We took him along and he ate three or
four meals in one, but ever after that he
didn't. say a word about exterminating
the Indian. The next day grave-look-
ing father arrived looking for a very
homesick boy, and they went back
together. So the Government lost
another scout, but an anxious mother got

THE HOME DOCTOR.

The proper time for taking cod liver
oil is at meals, just after taking soup.
1t is, also, we'll borne en- the stomach if
taken the last thing on going to bed.
A medical authority says that in
warm weather people will find their sys-
tens cleaned and cooled very comforta-
bly, and bencfcially by swallowing COB
let of fresh water, not iced, with little
table salt dissolved in it.
For snake bites, says an eminent
physician, various internal remedies may
be recommended, of which the best is
carbonate of ammonia in doses of ten or
twenty grains every half-hour. Friction
to the surface of the body, with pieces OF
flannel dipped in hot alcohol, is also ben
efcial. These remedies cannot be ap-
piled too soon.
Nuts would be valuable as food ii they
were not so indigcstible. They should
always be eaten in extreme moderation,
not after a hearty meal, but rather be-
tween meals. or with light lunch, when
the stomach has but little else to do bu.
to act upon them. If raw, chew them
long and we'll before swallowing them.
They are innocent enough if well
cooked.
Those who are fond of the cucumber,
that too. common cause of colicky and
diarrheal attacks, should remember that
in the raw state it is not suitable ingrc-
dient of heavy meal, rs the quantity of
woody fibre in it adds to the burden of
the stomach already loaded. with all it
can digest. If eaten at all it should be
at lunch; then, if salt, pepper and vine

1T is not difficult to preserve your

said an eminent physician, recently.
"Your prescriptions, 1 presume, said his

Odd Means of Livelihood.

One of the highest salaried skilled
workmcn in Chicago is an expert safe
opener employed by large safe and lock
manufacturing company there. He was
once we'll known burglar, but reformed
when released from the penitentiary a
few years ago. He then secured en-
ployment with the firm under heavy
bonds, and has ben with them ever
since.
The chief industry Of Kilbourn, Wis,
is the expectation of the trailing ar
butus. The flowers are made up into
bouquets, the stems being wrapped in
moist cotton and tin-foil. They are then
placed in boxes and mailed to all parts
of the United States, including the South
and California, arriving there as fresh
and fragrant as when gathered in the
woods of Wisconsin.
A citizen of Pasadena, Call, kept the
wolf from the door during the winter by
furnishing the village druggist with all
the horned toads he could capture. Alto
gether he brought in several thousand
and received good pay for them. What
the druggist wanted with them nobody
else knows, but he is supposed to have
utilized the oil extracted from them in
the manufacture of patent medicine.
Two men of Burnett, Wis, trapped
5000 muskrats and siXty-fve mink at
Hairon Marsh last winter. They were
paid eleven cents piece for the muskrat
skins, and sometimes received 81 each
for the mink skins. Their receipts last
season were $500. Other trappers on
the Wolf River, in Wisconsin, have been
equally successful. One trapper caught
1866 muskrats in one week and sold the
skins in Oshkosh for eighteen cents a
piece.
A tramp recently arrested in Jackson,
Mich, for disorderly conduct, was found
to have capacious wallet in his inside
pocket, stuffed full of two-cent postage
stamps. He confessed that he had been
making a tour of the State begging
stamp from every person he met, on the
plea of wishing to send letter to his
wife. When stamp was not forth
coming he usually got two coppers or
nickel to buy one with, and was able to
live in comfort on his revenue.
A man in Birmingham, Mich, invested
$50, all the money he had in the world,
in q double e-barrcled shotgun, on
Christmas Day, and entered into con-
tract with local restaurant-keeper to
furnish him with an unlimited supply of
fat sparrows at once cent apiece. The
agreement has been the cause Of great
satisfaction to each of the parties to it.
The hunter has made more money per
week than he ever cid before at his
trade, and the reputation of the restau-
rant mans quail on toast, at 90 cents
brace, keeps his diningroom crowded.
Many of the Montana cowboys who
were out of employment during the
winter made good living by "wolting."
Rangemen furnished the horses, rifles,
ammunition, strychnine and free board to
the "wolfcrs, and the Territory paid the
bounty, giving So each for mountain
lions and bears, 81 for gray wolves and
timber wolves, 81 for coyotes, ten cents
for prairie dogs and five cents for ground
SQUIRRELS. In addition the boys found
ready sale for the pelt of an animal, rang
ing from ten dollars for a fine lion or
bear skin to ten cents for the hide of a

Too Much for the Dominic.

An aged dominic way back in Illinois
used to look carefully over his congrega-
tion every Sunday and note who was alb
sent. Then Monday he would call on
the dclinqucnts and find out why they
were away. On Sunday he missed old
man Cooncy, and true to custom called
on him the following morning. Brother
Cooney, you were not at church yester-
day."
'.Went fshin'," said the old man, 60
ing right on with his hoeing.
''Why did you stay away"
"Preachin' too long"
"Brother, there will be no preaching
in hell"
"'Twont be for want o. parsons"
And the dominic gave up calling on
delinquents.-Inter- Ocean.

A remarkable needle is owned by
Queen Victoria. 1t represents the column
of Trajan in miniature. This Roman
column is adorned with many scenes in
sculpture, which tell of the heroic deeds
of the Emperor Trajan. On the little
needle are pictured scenes from the life
of Queen Victoria, but the pictures are
SO small that it is necessary to use
magnifying glass in order to see them.
The needle can be opened. 1t contains
q number of needles of smaller size, which
also contain microscopic pictures.

The process is revived of applying
strips of adhesive plasters along the mar
gin of wounds, and by drawing the edges
Of the wound in opposition pass the su-
lures through the plaster only, thus
avoiding the pits and creases left in the
skin when the sutures are passed through
the skin itself. The edge Of the plaster
along the margin of the wound should
be folded upon itself, so as to keep the
